Obstructed urination in women is also known under the term "stranguria". This condition manifests itself in the inability to completely empty the bladder. At the same time, it becomes constantly full.
The main manifestations of difficult urination are intermittent urinary excretion or discharge by drop, as well as a weak jet and small portions of excreted urine.
Difficulty urinating causes
Now we will understand why it is difficult to urinate, and what the consequences of such a condition may be. Causes of difficulty urinating in women can be the following conditions:
- Cystitis. Especially the development of disorders of urination contributes to chronic inflammation, localized in the neck of the bladder - cervical cystitis .
- Stenotic changes in the urethra. This condition can be caused by chronic infections, including sexually transmitted infections.
- Violation of the innervation of the bladder. Including after spinal injuries.
- Tumors. They can both grow from the tissues of the urinary system, and from other organs of the small pelvis.
- Stones that can clog the lumen of the urethra. Thus, this leads to a violation of urination.
- Temporary spasm of the musculature of the urinary system.
- Difficulty urinating during pregnancy occurs quite often. It is worth noting that in this case this condition can not be considered a sign of any disease. The following occurs: during the development of pregnancy the uterus grows, which can squeeze nearby organs. As a result, urination is impaired.
Treatment of difficulty urinating
The scheme of treatment of difficulty urinating in women depends on the cause that caused this violation. Elimination of the cause is the key to successful therapy. Therefore, it is important to timely treat the infectious inflammatory process, localized in the organs of the urinary system. Spasm of the urinary tract will help to remove warm sedentary baths. And if the cause of strangury is neoplasms or stones, then surgical treatment is often shown.
During pregnancy, cramping with moderate gymnastics and moderate physical activity will help cope with difficulty urinating.
Treatment of difficulty urinating with folk remedies is not always justified. And it is effective only in functional disorders of the bladder, which are not accompanied by organic pathology. To do this, use:
- infusion of sage leaves;
- juice obtained from celery roots;
- beverages from hips;
- juniper berries;
- collections of bearberry , birch buds, fennel seeds, field horsetail and elder roots.
